FRISCO, Texas (February 15, 2024) – FC Dallas launched its Afterburner kit tonight, which will serve as the club’s primary kit for the 2024 and 2025 MLS seasons. The unique design takes inspiration from the dynamic flames of fighter jets, representing a statement of ambition and passion. The kit was unveiled by FC Dallas players at the club’s annual Cocktails & Cleats fundraiser this evening at the Gallagher Club in the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
The design, primarily red and navy, captures the essence of the energy and intensity of a jet engine with a unique horizontal gradient constructed by vertical bars fading from blue to red across the front. The kit is accentuated with white trim along the sides, neckband, and cuffs on the arms. The iconic three stripes along the shoulder, the adidas logo, as well as the name and number are represented in white.
The reverse of the Afterburner jersey consists predominantly of red with navy dashing the right shoulder and lower back. The Afterburner jersey will primarily be paired with navy shorts and socks throughout the season.
Other Afterburner kit design elements include:
- The LH patch remains at the base of the left hem on the front of the jersey. This symbolic placement honors Lamar Hunt’s legacy on professional soccer in Dallas/Fort Worth and the United States.
- The Texas state flag is proudly presented on the back neckline of the jersey, signifying FC Dallas’ legacy as the original MLS team of Texas.
For 2024, the primary kit proudly features Children’s Health as the front-of-jersey sponsor. Apple TV will continue to share the left sleeve alongside the MLS crest that is across all MLS club jerseys. Dallas will continue to wear the Burn Kit as its secondary kit with UT Southwestern Medical Center displayed on the front of the jersey.
The Afterburner kit makes its official takeoff on the 2024 season opener on Saturday, February 24 at Toyota Stadium when Dallas hosts the San Jose Earthquakes in a match presented by Children’s Health. (Tickets, MLS Season Pass).

“The new jersey is a different design with the color gradient. All of the colors of FC Dallas are displayed, the navy blue, red, and white. It is a unique concept to have the colors all in one jersey.”
Forward Bernard Kamungo
"It's different. I'm used to all red and blue as an accent, but now it's a red and blue gradient. I think it's going to look awesome. I'm looking forward to wearing it."
